Solutions

Expert Solution

Compute the after tax cost of this payment as follows:

Tax savings = Deduction allowed * marginal tax rate

Tax savings = 1000000 * 0.21

Tax savings = $ 210000

After tax cost = Taxable income - tax savings

After tax cost = 2500000 - 210000

After tax cost = $ 2290000

Note:

the deduction allowed is under section 162.
